Cool Tigers move quick on the track

Tigers are fun on track days and often people wonder how fast we move around. Getting your knee down is more of a "put your knee out" than "oops I leant down that much...". Try sitting on a chair, put your butt and knee out real far and you'll see you don't have to tip the chair much to get floor contact (wear a crash helmet for safety-hah,hah). Also consider that you have the thick kneepad just below the knee as well.
As far as the tyres go I found out that sticky race tires are hard to find for the front wheel size of 110/80-19''. But Michelin Pilot Road (not#2) works and would maybe be something...
